Hard anodizing needs a defined specification
Hard anodizing services are requested for parts where the customer specifies this surface treatment. The exact requirement should come from the drawing or approved specification; a general phrase does not define the finish condition, measurement method or acceptance limits. Share the substrate and part geometry so feasibility can be reviewed.
Protect fits and critical features
Mark bores, threads, mating surfaces, contact areas and dimensions that may be affected by treatment. State which surfaces need masking and whether inspection is required before or after anodizing. Include color or appearance only when it is controlled by the project specification.
Make the RFQ specific
Provide the current CAD model, drawing revision, material grade, quantity and governing finish reference. Identify inspection evidence, packaging and any approval sample. Avoid substituting a different treatment or standard without written customer approval.
For general finish planning, see CNC surface finishing services. For general anodizing inputs, see anodizing services for machined parts.
Pre-quote checklist
- Exact substrate and drawing revision
- Hard-anodize specification and required condition
- Masked areas, fits and critical dimensions
- Inspection method and report requirements
- Quantity, packaging and approval steps
Confirm process compatibility and acceptance for the actual part before placing an order.
